Daharahj.1325 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It's still available on the old forums and easily accessible... Not an issue at all really. I assume they're going to archive old forums instead of removing them entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esplen.3940 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 To be honest, it was getting really toxic on that subforum. Personal attacks when people had diverging opinions, and there wasn't a lot of room for respectful discussion.I will be sad to have 5 years of posts gone, though.

Xaylin.1860 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Same here. I will miss some old threads and posts for reference. That being said, let's give the new forum a chance. This subforum is one of the more active and constructive ones after all. I'm just hoping for them to archieve the old forum at least for a few months...

Dethl.2875 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 yeah, it kinda sucks but oh well. having a working search for 5 years of posts would have been nice. hopefully some people are still around to migrate the guides over.(Edit: editing had a little "3 minutes" comment which I'm a bit worried about for guides if it is what I think it is, but oh well. Actual edit, does this mean pyro is back in action?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MailMail.6534 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I like that we have a nice "reset button" now. Fresh and ready for a new era of Guild Wars 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fact that the names are shown for such things and I gave him a thumbs up myself since I find it undeserving the sheer fact that downvoters will have their names plastered for all to see should keep the boards from getting anywhere near as toxic as they should but it will no doubt take time for this to happen.I actually look forward to see how these forums will develop as previously the lack of a voting system was one of the things I always blamed for some of the toxic behavior found on this boards.

Carighan.6758 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Yeah, I guess we found out why they changed the forum software.(although no, in all honesty, a switch to something which seems Discourse-based was damn nice, and long overdue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exciton.8942 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It is okay.I think they definitely have made some changes to mirage between the beta weekend and now.We can give new feedback after the expansion launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyroatheist.9031 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Fwiw it's really easy to make a forum scraper in Python and download the whole thing. I was looking into this a while ago and the forums actually have really convenient tags in the source for pages and posts and such that make it extremely easy to navigate.
